The comedy-drama revolves around the story of two men Gulabo and Sitabo and it focuses on the daily issues that they face from a common man. The official synopsis reads,

“Gulabo Sitabo is the quirky tale of two slimy scheming foxes in a game of one upmanship, each one attracting other members to their clan and each one with an agenda of his own.”

Looking at the film looks of Amitabh and Ayushmann totally like a total entertainer. Ayushmann’s character is Baankey a.k.a Sitabo who is a young, shrewd, and hot-headed tenant. Meanwhile, Big B plays the role of Mirza – Gulabo who is a grumpy and aged landlord. The focal point is the run-down building Fatima Mahal in Lucknow that is owned by Gulabo with Sitabo as a long-time tenant.

As the landlord wants to drive away all his irritating tenants, he tries to sell off the house. However, this decision doesn’t get the support from Sitabo because he’ll be homeless then. The further details you should figure out yourself by watching the film.
